Hello.. I'm sure you got plenty of suggestions and pardon if this is a 
repeat.
I 'm successfully using containers that where purchased at my local 
Wal-Mart.
They are called Shimano and have 18 compartments. I found them by the
fishing stuff. The price was just over $2.00.  I have been using three 
of these and
have they are wonderful.

Since there are many more parts that compartments, I usually share a 
compartment
with dissimilar components. Also I make a layout of the compartment  on 
 a piece of  paper,
when I inventory a component, I put it in a compartment and update the 
respecitve layout
with the components ID not it's value. So for example, on the RF board 
needs C72, I look at
my layout, find the compartment, get the component, verify the value 
(using a magnifier) and insert it.

Anyway, for less the $10.00 you get three of these plastic boxes and 
have 54 compartments.
Oh.. the cover locks down firmly too..

Just my two cents worth.

Enjoy building !!
